Strange problem with html editor
I'm using the open source code.
 
I'm trying to change the text in the middle of the home page, but when I go to edit the text, I can't scroll down far enough to hit the save button.  I can pull the scroll bar down enough to see it, but when I move my mouse off the scroll bar the button scrolls out of view again.
 
I know you said that the javascript library will be replaced, so that may take care of this.
 
In the meantime, is there a place I can go in VS or in the database to find and replace this text?

First try using a different browser say IE7 or FireFox3 to see if it fixes your problem.
If not, the text is stored in table DSC_Block. You should find the block id from the title of the text block.

Re: Strange problem with html editor
 I guess I'll continue by updating the table.
 
Is there a plan to upgrade the Open Source version to use jquery?
 
Here's the experience with using the html editor:
          IE6 -  I can scroll down and see the save button if I keep my mouse on the scroll bar, but if I move the mouse to click the save button it scrolls out of view.
          Firefox, IE7, Chrome - The editing panel fills up the screen, and I don't see the bottom or the top.

Yes, it's part of the plan for V3 open source edition, which will have the new page editor and multi-language support.

Ok, I went into HtmlBox.ascx and changed the height of  dsc:HtmlEditor from 600px to 300px and I'm all set on IE6.

Re: Strange problem with html editor
Thank you for posting back the workaround. The new JQuery based page editor has the resizable popup window.
